Careers networking

Selwyn College careers networking exists to enable alumni to offer professional advice and share their experiences for the benefit of other alumni and current Selwyn students.  This will not rival the University or other professional careers advisory services, but will be an informal network designed to complement what is already available. 

If you would like to participate, please complete the on-line form.

Alternatively, download this form and send it to the Development & Alumni Relations Office. 

The information you provide will be treated according to the Data Protection Act, and your personal contact details will only be made available to other Selwyn members with your consent.
